Key points
For England as a whole there has been overall improvement against adult performance indicators for the ninth year running. Of the 20 adult indicators that can be compared, 13 showed an improvement between 2006-07 and 2007-08 and 7 remained at a similar level. However, in a few cases the improvements were small.
Some indicators show significant and sustained improvement over time, for example direct payments and delayed transfers of care.
Performance still varies between councils for many of the indicators but overall the variation reduced for the ninth successive year. Some councils are performing very well against many indicators; others are not.
The introduction of the report explains the use of the 2008 performance indicators and their replacement for 2008- 09 by the new National Indicator Set.
